Making The FX 8320 Smoother

[PCPRO]

Alright Guyz
So i know this may sound a little dumb but I have a sumple question:
I heard that there is a way to make the 8320 a quad core processor bydeactivating the shared cores to make The preformance much more smoother. Plus if we disable 4 cores the IPC will get higher right?
So basically my question is "How"?

It's not possible to make the IPC better on a chip because that's just the way the hardware is - however you can make per-core performance better. It's possible to go into the BIOS and manually select which cores are active, so you can disable 4 of them if you'd like. Once you enter BIOS you go into advanced settings and it's in one of the tabs, I forget which.

You might be able to overclock a little further due to the reduced heat output (less cores) so that would essentially give you better per-core performance.

Ye il probably be doing that cause i need my per core preformance more than my multitasking atm

What aren't you getting enough performance in?

Na its just cause i wont be gaming for like 3 weeks so id probably need more per cire preformance but 1 question if im right since the pd have 8 cores the ipc would be divided into 8 but if you have a pd with originally 8 cores and 4 cores disabled you will be getting more per core preformance and more ipc at the same time

I wish I was more knowledgeable in the architecture to discuss that with you but I'm afraid I'm not. Regardless, you'll get more per-core performance - there's a difference between IPC and per-core performance, but they are closely related.
